As netfilter is a linux software, I believe he was looking for a linux
software. But maybe I'm wrong.

Hey, no need to start a flame and all. I personally use Visio as the
corporate standard, and it does the job. I'd use a free equiv if it was
pretty good and I was allowed to at work, but as it stands, I'm a Linux
admin who uses Visio! :-)

Wouldn't it be cool to see a network diagram document record its change
history from when the company started to what it stands today? That'd be
a nice feature. Hell, I'd play it as my screensaver! Expecially the
security-through-obscurity parts...

Tried dia - http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia ? I'm a RedHat person,
can use the 0.91 rpm (suppose it's from Fedora?) but though the 0.92
source compiles, the compiled stuff won't run on my RHEL3 rig.

Anyway, I love it - even though it doesn't have everything Visio does.

Why do people not look for packages first?
Anyway I usually start here:
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/mega-merge.php
Specifically dia is here:
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dia/

Pádraig.

p.s. The default dia with fedora core 1 doesn't have
all the nice new network shapes.

Whether you're using Windows or Linux, you guys have (mostly) said Dia (Which i've now found) or Visio.

Thank you for your suggestions!
